Acts 18
1 Now after these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵatyosile ku Asene ni kwaula ku Kolinto.
2 And encountering a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome), he joined them;
Ku Kolinto ko ŵansimene Myahudi jumo jwa ku Ponto liina lyakwe che Akila. Che Akila ŵaliji pamo ni ŵankwawo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Pilisila, ni mmoŵa gagogo pego ŵausile kutyochela ku Italia pakuŵa mwenye che Kilaudio ŵalamwile kuti Ŵayahudi wose atyoche ku Loma. Che Paolo ni ŵajawile kukwalola,
3 and because he practiced the same trade, he stayed on with them and worked (their trade was tentmaker).
ni pakuŵa masengo gao galiji gamo, masengo gakutota mahema, che Paolo ŵatemi nawo ni kupanganya masengo.
4 Every Sabbath in the synagogue he would reason with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them.
Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lili lyose che Paolo ŵaŵechetesyene ni ŵandu mu nyuumba ja kupopelela achilingaga kwachisya Ŵayahudi ni Ŵagiliki.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the Spirit, solemnly insisting to the Jews: Jesus is the Christ.
Che Sila ni che Timoseo paŵaiche kutyochela ku Makedonia, che Paolo ŵalityosisye kwa katema kakajinji kulalichila Liloŵe achalosyaga pangasisa Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ali Chiwombosyo.
6 But since they kept contradicting and blaspheming, he shook his clothes and said to them: “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Nambo paŵankanile ni kuntukana, che Paolo ŵakung'undile luundu mu iwalo yao paujo pao ni kuti, “Mwajonasikaga, chinnyimanyilile mwachinsyene, uneji nganingola magambo. Ni kutandila sambano chinaajaulile ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.”
7 So he moved from there into the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
Nipele che Paolo ŵatyosile kweleko ni kwaula kutama mu nyuumba ja mundu jumo jwangaŵa Myahudi, juŵaajogopaga Akunnungu, mundu jo liina lyakwe che Tito Yusto, nyuumba jao jaŵandikene ni nyuumba ja kupopelela.
8 Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household; and as they were hearing, many of the Corinthians were believing and being baptized.
Che Kilispo, juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jao wose ŵaakulupilile Ambuje. Ŵakolinto ŵajinji ŵaupilikanile utenga wo nipele ŵakulupilile ni kubatiswa.
9 Now the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night: “Do not be afraid; rather speak and do not keep silent,
Chilo chimo Ambuje ŵansalile che Paolo mu yakwiwona, “Kasinjogopa, nlimbile kulalichila pe ni nkaleka kupanganya chinkuchipanganya cho,
10 because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
pakuŵa uneji nansyene ndili pamo nomwe. Ngapagwa jwalijose juchalinje kumpoteka pakuŵa pamusi wu ngwete ŵandu ŵajinji.”
11 So he stayed on for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
Nipele, che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko chaka ni miesi nsano ni umo achajiganyaga ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
12 Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
Nambo katema che Galio paŵaliji jwankulu jwa chilambo cha Akaya, Ŵayahudi ŵasimene, ŵankamwile che Paolo ni kunjausya ku nkungulu.
13 saying, “This fellow persuades the people to worship God contrary to the law.”
Ni ŵatite, “Mundu ju akwachisya ŵandu ŵapopelele Akunnungu pangagakuya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.”
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If there really was some misdeed or wicked crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to bear with you;
Che Paolo akanaŵe kuŵecheta, che Galio ŵaasalile Ŵayahudi, “Mpilikanile ŵanyamwe Ŵayahudi! Ikaliji isyene mundu ju aleŵile pane atesile yangalumbana ngampilikanichisye.
15 but since it is an issue over a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; because I refuse to be a judge of such matters.”
Nambo iŵaga makani ga gali gankati maloŵe ni meena ni malajisyo genu, nlamule mwachinsyene. Uneji ngangusaka kuŵa jwakulamula jwa indu yo!”
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.
Nipele ŵaaŵinjile ŵanyawo akopoche pa nkungulu.
17 Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was a delay to Gallio.
Ni ŵandu wose ŵankamwile che Sositene juŵaliji jwankulu jwa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ni ŵamputile palapala paujo pa nkungulu ula. Nambo che Galio nganaikosya yeleyo.
18 Paul still remained there a good while, then took leave of the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila (he had shaved his head in Cenchrea, because he had a vow).
Che Paolo ŵatemi ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵala ku Kolinto ko moŵa gamajinji. Nipele ŵaalanjile, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa pamo ni che Pilisila ni che Akila ni kwaula ku Silia. Paŵaiche ku Kenkelea, che Paolo ŵamyosile umbo syao mu ntwe ligongo ŵataŵile nasili.
19 He came to Ephesus and left them there (after having entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews).
Ni ŵaiche ku Efeso, kweleko che Paolo ŵalesile che Pilisila ni che Akila, ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela ni kutanda kuusyausyana ni Ŵayahudi.
20 When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent;
Ŵandu ŵa pelepo ŵachondelele che Paolo atame pamo ni ŵandu wo moŵa gamajinji gane, nambo che Paolo nganasaka.
21 rather he took leave of them saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
Nambo paŵalangaga ŵatite, “Chimuje sooni kukwenu Akunnungu asakaga.” Ni ŵakwesile mu ngalaŵa jekulungwa ni kutyoka mu Efeso mula.
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church [in Jerusalem], he returned to Antioch.
Che Paolo paŵaiche ku Kaisalia, ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukuukomasya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa kweleko, nipele ŵatuluchile ku Antiokia.
23 After spending some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
Che Paolo ŵatemi kweleko moŵa kanandipe ni ŵatandite ulendo achipitilaga ku Galatia ni ku Filigia achalimbisyaga mitima ŵandu wose ŵakwakuya Che Yesu.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.
Nipele Myahudi jumo liina lyakwe che Apolo mundu jwa ku Alekisandilia, ŵaiche ku Efeso. Mundu ju ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta uchenene ni juŵagamanyililaga Malembelo ga Akunnungu.
25 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
Mundu ju ŵajiganyikwe litala lya Ambuje ni mu mbumu ŵachalilaga kusala ngani si Che Yesu, ŵajiganyisye chenene ngani si Che Yesu namuno ŵaumanyilile ubatiso u che Yohana pe.
26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Che Pilisila ni che Akila paŵampilikene mundu jo ali nkuŵecheta mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pangajogopa, ŵanjigele kumangwao ni kunjiganya Litala lya Akunnungu kwa uchenene nnope.
27 When he decided to go across into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him; upon arriving he was a great help to those who had believed through the Grace;
Che Apolo paŵasachile kwaula ku Akaya, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa ku Efeso ŵanlimbisye ntima ni kwalembela ŵakulijiganya ŵa ku Akaya kuti ampochele. Che Apolo paŵaiche kweleko, Akunnungu ŵankamuchisye mu upile wao, ni ŵakombwele kwakamusya nnope ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu,
28 because he kept refuting the Jews vigorously, publicly, demonstrating Jesus to be the Christ, from the Scriptures.
kwa ukombole wao wa kuŵecheta ŵapundile Ŵayahudi paujo pa ŵandu achalosyaga Mmalembelo ga Akunnungu kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
